 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With small white, graphical pattern,<\/p>\n

On a smooth, flowy, dark blue fabric,<\/p>\n

Snugly falling over the curves,<\/p>\n

With a slim, white belt on the waist,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reaching just above my knees, my favourite<\/p>\n

 Little Blue Dress<\/span>, that was.<\/p>\n

Wearing that, I wrapped myself with liberation,<\/p>\n

And against all the reasons, so misplaced.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From those looks that teetered between,<\/p>\n

A nod of approval and a visible smirk,<\/p>\n

\u2018Oh! You look like the sister of your son\u2019- Oft a comment passed by,<\/p>\n

With compliment and sneer, both interlaced.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you!\u2019, I would say, and add with a smile,<\/p>\n

\u2018But I am his mother first and I teach him,<\/p>\n

That virtues are not the slaves of a dress,<\/p>\n

And tell him, not to judge any with such haste!\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I tell him, it\u2019s about the choices one makes,<\/p>\n

To feel emancipated and to set free one\u2019s soul,<\/p>\n

For me, it may be the Little Blue Dress,<\/span><\/p>\n

For some, something else might just be the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
